Modern MedicalGout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by crystals of uric acid building up in the joints. It typically starts with a sudden attack of severe pain, redness, heat and swelling, classically in the big toe and often at night. A high level of uric acid in the blood is the underlying problem. At AVN Arogya it is assessed and treated under our gout and uric acid care.
